❗️What you need to know about TICKS! ❗️

🐾There are hundreds of species of ticks across the world. In the UK, sheep ticks (ixodes ricnius) and hedgehog ticks (ixodes hexagonus) are a threat to dogs.

🐾We see higher numbers of ticks between March and November when the temperature is generally higher 🌡

🐾 There are other tick species that pose a threat in popular holiday destinations for example in France and Spain.

🐾 Ticks carry tick bourne diseases which are a threat to animals and humans. SO, tick prevention is key 🔑

Our top tips for avoiding ticks include:
🌟 Using regular tick prevention (please speak to a Vet or Vet Nurse about what you can use)
🌟 Groom your dog/ cat regularly to check for ticks

⚠️ IF YOU FIND A TICK ... ⚠️
❌ DO NOT JUST PULL IT OFF. You should not use your fingers or tweezers to pull ticks off as there is a high chance you will break the body away from the head, and the tick head will be left in your pet’s skin.
✅ The BEST way to remove ticks is by using a TICK TWISTER to twist the whole tick away and out of the skin. We sell these at reception at both our Bicester and Waddeson surgeries.

Ensure you don’t get bitten too, and call us if you need any advice! 🐾 ...
